Lamp Wick Float
The Lamp Wick Float is a small yet essential accessory used for lighting wicks in lamps, particularly those placed before icons and in sacred spaces. Its design is simple yet functional, consisting of a buoyant float made typically from a lightweight material such as cork or wood.
The purpose of the lamp wick float is to facilitate the lighting of the lamp without the need to directly handle the wick or immerse it in oil. This ensures that the process remains clean and hygienic, as well as minimizing the risk of accidentally extinguishing the flame.
To use the lamp wick float, one simply places it atop the surface of the oil in the lamp reservoir, allowing it to float freely. The wick is then placed onto the float, which keeps it elevated and prevents it from sinking into the oil. With the wick securely positioned, it can be easily lit using a match or lighter, providing a steady flame that illuminates the surrounding area.
